Deskripsi

Mutations in VHL have been linked to clear cell renal cancer, but the molecular mechanisms involved remain unclear. Here the authors generate a mouse model closely mimicking the human disease and show that VHL loss induces DNA replication stress that is rescued by the concomitant loss of PBRM1 permitting transformation.
